SUMMARY:NATURA X Taller Boricua by ArteYUNQUE
DESCRIPTION:NATURA at Taller Boricua brings together ArteYUNQUE’s inaugural artist cohort\, embodying a poetic exploration at the intersection of art\, nature\, and El Yunque. The exhibited works delve into the intricate interplay among these elements\, addressing themes such as the political dimensions of the landscape\, the richness of biodiversity\, the significance of soil\, and enduring traditions. \nFeaturing commissioned installations by Migdalia Luz Barens-Vera\, Zaida Adriana Goveo Balmaseda\, Jorge González Santos\, Ivelisse Jiménez\, Guillermo Rodríguez\, Jaime & Javier Suárez\, and Omar Obdulio Peña Forty\, the works in NATURA were originally conceived and installed within El Portal Visitor Center Trail in Río Grande and have now been thoughtfully adapted for presentation in the gallery. \nIn this new setting\, the exhibition opens a dialogue between the rainforest and a traditional gallery space\, creating connections between diasporic communities and ancestral landscapes while exploring art’s capacity to bridge cultural identity\, environmental consciousness\, and collective memory. \nJoin us for the opening reception:\nThursday\, September 10 at 6:00 p.m.\nTaller Boricua\, 1680 Lexington Avenue\, El Barrio\, New York 10029 \nPhotos by Christopher Gregory-Rivera.

SUMMARY:Opening Night: NY Premiere of Desarchivar la mirada
DESCRIPTION:What does historical justice look like? After a successful world premiere in Puerto Rico\, Desarchivar la Mirada comes to CENTRO for its New York premiere! Don’t miss the opening night of this compelling exhibition challenging the original purpose of postcards produced between 1898 and 1915. As Puerto Rico entered its colonial status under the U.S.\, the territory was intensely photographed. These images played a role in constructing “otherness” that was legible and exportable; part of a visual regime that accompanied the island’s political\, economic\, and symbolic reorganization following Spanish American war. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Here:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage Credit: Centro de Investigación y Archivo Digital en Afrodescendencia (Centro PRAFRO)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is made possible thanks to the Mellon funded Rooted + Relational initiative.
